I love voodoo bikes, but I just can't bring myself to love sliding dropouts. There's something about trackends that just does it for me. |
thats definitely hot
|
i cant wait to move somewhere with a good mountain biking scene

I see one cog, one chainring. How could this possibly be in the wrong place?

Yeah, but for a bike with v-brakes like that one, the sliding dropouts don't buy you anything at all.
I wonder if voodoos are still built around the old joe murray geometry, if they are they're well worth riding. |
I'm confused. Don't you need a super crazy big suspension fork for that thing? Or is it not a dirt jump bike?

2. That fork is suspension corrected; i.e. the AC height is similar to that of a suspension fork. |
ahh, it's the downhill bikes I'm thinking of. Only mountain biking I do is a bit of XC. So, would that be a bike for dirt jump?
|
I don't think its necessarily designed to be a dirt jumper, although the super low saddle height suggests it. I'm sure it would handle jumps just fine though.
|
It does xc and jumping equally alright depending on the saddle height. Not particularly great at either, but an excellent all purpose ride.

My Voodoo Limba CX bike has the same kind of dropouts, so I can run my bike geared, fixed or SS (I'm on 9-speed Shimano now). I do agree that track ends would look better, but track ends don't work with disk brakes.
Form over function! I'm sure one day I'll become convinced of the joys of disk brakes and then I'll get even angrier at my karate monkey, but for now I'm happy enough. |
Interesting geometry. I think I'd feel like I was riding a wheelie down the street...or trail.

Not if you had the seat up to a proper height.
I'll have to ride one. |
I wish I had that frame instead of my steelhead frame

sick as a trick
|
I feel a great sense of acceptance.
BTW It is a XC bike; I just made into an all purpose street rider like so many have noticed. It does in fact have the old Joe Murray geometry. Its suppose to use a 450mm+ fork, but this is the only rigid (metal) fork I could find. Thanks for the compliments. :) |
I think it looks pretty fun. Its built up a lot like a friends .243.
